ITAM / SPECIALLY ADAPTED SMART HOME
BENJAMIN HARROW
Army Captain Benjamin Harrow’s specially adapted Maryland residence was another opportunity to make integrated home technology a practical part of ordinary life. A West Point graduate and Green Beret, Captain Harrow served in Iraq and Afghanistan before the Gary Sinise Foundation helped provide a home designed for his family’s needs.
ITAM contributed smart-home controls and entertainment integration to the Bethesda-area project, including ELAN-based control and Kaleidescape as part of the technology implemented in all six of ITAM’s Foundation residences. The objective was consistent with the broader program: put functions that would otherwise require separate physical controls into a more convenient, unified interface.
Unlike the other five case studies, this project is not illustrated with ITAM installation photographs. Rather than assign unrelated imagery to his home, the case study concentrates on the documented project and links to the Foundation’s account of Captain Harrow’s service and residence.
